Jardines de Sabatini
The Jardines de Sabatini are elegant neoclassical gardens located on the northern side of the Royal Palace of Madrid. Designed in the 1930s on the site of the former royal stables, they were opened to the public by King Juan Carlos I in 1978. Named after Francesco Sabatini, the Italian architect responsible for many palace renovations, the gardens feature symmetrical hedges, fountains, and marble sculptures originally intended for the palace’s cornice. A large rectangular pond at the center reflects the grandeur of the surrounding greenery, creating a serene atmosphere. The gardens offer one of the best sunset views in Madrid, with golden light illuminating the palace’s façade. Though temporarily closed for renovations, they remain a must-visit for those seeking a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.
Madrid Spain
Jardines de Sabatini are located on Calle Bailén, just north of the Royal Palace of Madrid, with an entrance from Cuesta de San Vicente. These formal, neoclassical gardens offer symmetrical hedges, statues of Spanish kings, ornamental pools, and some of the best views of the palace’s north façade. Nearby, you’ll find the Royal Palace itself, Plaza de España, and the Almudena Cathedral. The Temple of Debod, a relocated Egyptian monument, is also within walking distance, as is the bustling Gran Vía avenue. The gardens are a tranquil spot in the city center, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding historic architecture and green spaces.
